Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Wake Forest rules can be summed up with the following words: "Don't do anything stupid." No one—not campus police, not RAs—is going to bother you unless you are belligerently drunk or passed out. The administration and campus police will tolerate controlled and responsible parties and behavior. People get in trouble when they are being rowdy out in the open. Be safe and discrete, and you will be fine.

Regarding academics, Wake Forest is very strict. A single instance of plagiarism or cheating can result in suspension from school. The Honor Code of the University is something that faculty, students, and administration take very seriously. You do not want to have to go before the Honors and Ethics Council for a violation. Attendance can also be very strict in class, and a lack of it can result in a lower grade. This really depends on the professor and class, but with mostly small classes, it is very obvious when you are not present.

Wake's Very Own Barn

Wake Forest understands that college students party regardless of the punishments or risks associated with alcohol or drugs. Recently, Wake built a large building on campus nicknamed "The Barn". Essentially, it is a club with a DJ booth, stage, dancing floor, multiple beer pong tables, a VIP loft area, and its location eliminates the need to drive.

Fairly Strict

The Wake campus can be pretty strict: parking tickets are frequent as are underage drinking tickets. The RAs themselves are not strict, but campus police is. If you get into legal trouble, get caught with a Fake ID, or break school policy, the administration can be extremely unforgiving.

Campus Parties Vs Campus Crackdowns

Wake Forest is a unique school in that is actually throws parties for students. On designated "Seize the Quad" nights, the campus police and sober students monitor partying on the quad, but do not step in unless someone is in danger. It gives greeks and non greeks and opportunity to mingle and have fun together as a united student body. Off-campus partying however, is an entirely different story. Multiple fraternity houses are busted almost every weekend resulting in many students with underage drinking tickets. It is safer, and much more fun, to keep the partying on campus in Fraternity lounges rather than in fraternity houses.

Facts

Visitation Policies

Technically, there are rules regarding visitation (which is no surprise considering Wake Forest's Baptist roots), but this is usually a non-issue, as these rules are rarely enforced. As long as your roommate is OK with visitors, your RA is not going to bother you.

Did You Know?

Wake Forest students and professors take the Honor Code of the University very seriously. It is not uncommon for professors to give take-home or unproctored exams.

Wake Forest's new drinking policy allows for a warning instead of a punishment if a student is caught drinking underage.
